Bohman Bee Company

Bohman Bee Company At Bohman Bee Company, we take pride in delivering local, raw honey. Each bottle captures the essence of a certain time and place in Indiana. The U.S.

Beekeeping has been our family for four generations. Harry Bohman started beekeeping during WWII out of necessity. Sugar was the first food to be rationed in 1942. The war with Japan cut off imports from the Philippines, and cargo ships from Hawaii were diverted for military purposes. government, in order to prevent hoarding and skyrocketing prices, issued ration books that contained stamps that c

ould be used to purchase sugar. Harry was a farmer. He had trucks and tractors that needed fuel and tires to operate. He traded his sugar stamps for others to purchase fuel and tires for his equipment. He kept bees in order to use honey as a replacement for sugar. Harry’s oldest son, Paul, continued beekeeping into adulthood as a hobby, and his two young sons; John and Joe tagged along and learned about bees. However, during the mid-1980s, all of Paul’s bees died for no reason. Frustrated, he stopped beekeeping and gave up the trade. We later would know the phenomenon that caused the losses as “Colony Collapse Disorder”. Our family was out of beekeeping for nearly 25 years. However, Paul’s youngest son, Joe, decided to give it another try in 2010 with a half-dozen hives. He simply wanted to see if “he could keep some bees alive”. He managed to do just that, and even doubled the number of hives! One year later, John, Joe’s older brother joined the beekeeping venture and together, they quickly added more hives. The brothers were eventually able to produce enough honey to begin selling honey to local stores. In 2012, John’s wife and sons joined the team as Bohman Bee Company was formed. Today, Bohman Bee Company owns and manages over 200 hives located throughout southern Indiana with plans to double this number quickly. We offer our honey in over 20 stores in Indiana and Ohio (click here to find our honey). At Bohman Bee Company, we pride ourselves in delivering local, raw honey. With the changing seasons and floral sources, each harvest has a unique taste. We bottle that flavor just as bees made it – RAW.

Have you ever seen a bee's tongue? Kevin was out in our hives at the house adding the honey supers. The ladies decided to get an early start and build their own comb on the lid. He scraped it off and brought me a bowl of fresh honey . Of course there were a few bees along for the ride. This poor girl was trying to clean herself. I just love watching them!

A couple days late but look who finally came out of winter hi-brew-nation. So excited to have our coffee honey back in stock. I will miss the heavenly aromatic scent in the bee building while it was steeping though. Better get on the next batch, this one doesn't stay on our shelves for long!

I can't wait to check out this documentary that National Geographic is putting out. We already know that bees are incredibly smart, self-sustaining creatures but now you get to see what we see on a day to day basis.

Honey bee pollination accounts for 1/3 of our food sources. We NEED our bees!

With Kevin making so many displays the past few weeks we are swimming in saw dust. So with that and our over abundance of beeswax at the shop I decided to make some homemade firestarters. We love to have bonfires at home and go camping when we aren't busy working or in the bees.
